Assange claims UK police tried to enter Ecuadorean embassy last Wednesday
Speaking on Sunday in front of the condor of the Ecuadorean coat of arms on the white balcony railing of the embassy in London, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange thanked President Rafael Correa and Ecuador's diplomats, whom he praised for standing up against oppression, but also revealed the police tried to break in last Wednesday.

Aug 20th, 2012 - 06:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0'The Australian born Assange thanked the brave Latinamerican country of Ecuador for having “stood up for justice and freedom of expression” ..... too funny.....
Aug 20th, 2012 - 06:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0That shows just what a liar Assange is. He is well aware that the police were in the common areas of the building and had no intentions of entering the few rooms that constitute the Ecuadorian Embassy.

Yes. Big up Ecuador for harbouring suspected rapists just to score political points. Very brave. Very noble.
So the police broke through the external fire escape door ran half way up the stairs then changed their minds?
Aug 20th, 2012 - 08:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0This man is a liar and a coward.
I'm afraid Chavez has him by the balls, expect plenty of anti-British wiki-leaks statements from now on.
What a lovely picture of Cristina, and nice to see it in an Assange article =) Glad to see he had a dozen Latin American countries to praise, this isn't going away you know

You are implying that you lot are up to plenty of no good the world doesn't know of yet, don't you? :)
His paranoid accusation of police trying to get into the embassy all adds to the theatre, with no proof whats so ever.The UK police dont piss around, If the police wanted in, they would have got in. what a lowlife gobshite!
Aug 20th, 2012 - 11:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0What's wrong, old empire? 10 years ago you would've entered the embassy and dragged him out, telling Ecuador “whatever” in the process...
Aug 20th, 2012 - 11:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0What happened? :)
10- what like when the libians shot dead a WPC from their embassy and we did nothing, we let the murders leave the country because we abide by diplomatic law and dont push nuns out of aircraft.

Aug 20th, 2012 - 12:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was under the impression that a shot in the stomach of a 8-year-old was a bit low for a stray warning shot. Especially if they wanted to disperse a crowd of youths...
We fight and died all over South America to get rid of those fascist criminals that abused their own people, what did you lot do to stop the slaughter of women and children in the middle east?
We locked our criminals up for what they did, what did you do to yours?
A proud legacy, yes indeed!
@14 - While all civilian deaths are regretable, 37 in the course of one of the bloodiest years of the Iraq war strikes me as a lower than I might have expected. Saddam Hussein wouldn't have got out of bed to kill that few, remember what he did to the Kurds and he and his sons did to anyone that got on the wrong side of them. 37 certainly doesn't get anywhere near the 30,000 you're talking about happening in Argentina, and more importantly in Iraq we are talking about accidents and situations getting out of hand. In Argentina and with the Hussein regime, we are talking about organised, state-sponsored programs against their own people.

He goes under “accident” or “situation out of hand”?
That's another individual case that has been dealt with in a court of law. Saddam and his henchmen didn't bother with details like that and nor did the Argentines, unless they did it and secret and the punishment was 'take them up in a helicopter and see if they can fly'.

@17 “Guzzle” is actually the possessor of number of passports. One, he says, is Swedish. But he doesn't accept the Swedish judicial system. Probably too honest. He says another one is Uruguayan. But he has no loyalty to Uruguay. I'd bet he also has an argie one “for services to CFK”. In other words, he's (it's) a fink. An argie-inspired infiltrator. Read his comments at length, if you can avoid vomiting. Educated? Intelligent? Knob? Prat? Wanker? Tosspot? Scum?

Aug 20th, 2012 - 04:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Assange plays Correa and all those supposed beacons of self expression, like Chavez (oh so aptly named) and the Castro dinasty for fools, just so he can avoid a line of questioning regarding the whereabouts and demeanour of his manhood on the night(s) in question. You poke fun when british and indeed UN forces (which have had latam contingents) try their best (civilian casualties are sad fact but wholesale slaughter is avoided) in islamic countries who would want our help to overthrow despotic leaders and all you can do is spout petty rubbish about colonialism.
Europe will have no need to prove itself in diplomacy circle, UK and Sweden are particular champions of free speech and this cannot be disputed, USA, France, Sweden and UK are the top 4 destinations for tens of thousands asylum seekers, Ecuador has given asylum to 1 alleged rapist.
It's so disappointing to see so many latam countries pulling together over this matter, all those empty heads (not supporting assange and bu hypocritically supporting Correa abuse embassy sovereignty to support assange), a bunch of monkeys at a chimps at the proverbial tea party.
The UK is just making too many enemies world wide.It is making a mess in South America, Russia,Middle East and with individual countries like Spain and The USA. Their diplomacy is just not right

Aug 20th, 2012 - 04:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well said. An opportunity comes to appear to stand up to the UK and by default the USA and the 'West' and immediately every nationalistic Lat-Am leader jumps onto the band wagon shouting 'look at me, look at what a strong and powerful leader I am'.
As usual a completed unconnected matter will be hijacked by certain SA leaders to score points with their own domestic audiences.
Mmmm this stinks with right wing piss. How old are you people, 80?
Aug 20th, 2012 - 04:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK GOVERNMENT (not necessarily its people) is eager to abuse a law meant to fight terrorists in order to catch a supposed rapist. How can you see this and not agree with Ecuador that this is political prosecution?

Yet you said in a post many months ago that you went into exile with your parents after their 'politics' failed.
You are now back in Uruguay, spouting Argentinean rhetoric.
Just what did your parents do that meant they had to leave Uruguay and why have they not / could not return?
Or have I got it wrong? You see, I am giving you chance to advise me before I make my mind up, unlike you.
@22 - PGH
Aug 20th, 2012 - 05:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well if Assange, you, Guzz or anyone can produce one shred of evidence of this mythical conspiracy against Assange I'll change my mind.
However none of you can. Sweden has one of the best human rights records in the world. So his human rights would be far better respected there than in Ecuador whose human rights record is atrocious.
If the USA really wanted Assange they've had more than a year to extradite him from the UK, which would be easier than trying to extradite him from Sweden.
You see these points of logic, including the fact that the USA haven't produced any international arrest warrants for Assange is where your fantasy falls down.
Assange believes he is above the law, and by refusing to go to Sweden and answer these charges, he makes himself look guilty.
You can blab on about conspiracy theories as much as you want. But the important word here is THEORY. Until you can provide EVIDENCE it will remain a theory, a fantasy, a lie.
And Assange is a liar. He lied about the UK trying to enter the Ecuadorian embassy, he has lied about his victims by spreading misinformation, and he lies about this conspiracy against him
He is a coward, and he has been accused of rape. But rape's not a crime in South America apparently.

Aug 20th, 2012 - 05:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That is right, it is not. Saw his interview and heard him say just that. Must say I am suprised no one has come forward to refute his statement, do you suppose that makes it true. Could it be that it would mean we misinterperated his words and are over reacting. Now, I wonder who that reminds me of?
what a crock of shit, if the police had gone in we wouldn't be having this conversation now end of!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aug 20th, 2012 - 06:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why would the police want to enter the Embassy, those London bobbies must be rubbing their hands together at the thought of all that lovely double bubble. Booking their foreign holidays and off fat slices of their mortgages and they all have Assange to thank for that.

And until is actually happens, you are just using it as an excuse to attack the British,
On the other hand,
Who is throwing out all the insult [fact]
Who is actually threatening, [fact]
Who is actually burning British flags [fact]
Come on, if you are going to accuse, at least wait until we actually do something first, rather than merely point it out,
burning flags, not really the standard of a civilised country, is it.
so he says they got half way up the stairs and changed thier minds because of witnesses. So these two embassys (shared with Colombia) have no CCTV or alarms on a fire exit the first place an intruder would go for, don't tell me there was a power cut, and why haven't all these witnesses / media came forward and talked about it surely it would be front page news would it not. As i said before what a crock of SHIT. Liars, Deluded and V STUPID

My father was a tupamaro, exiled for fighting against the military dictature. He got to Sweden and ended up with a lot of kids. The main reason he didn't return in 1985 was because some of my younger brothers and sisters were in school age and he didn't want to take them oit of school until primary was done. As soon as that happened, he took tje youngest ones and moved back, us older ones are spread all over the place. Myself, I got an education in Denmark before I followed my fathers footsteps, and now I'm back in Denmark to get my sailing licence. There you go.
